Clynelish distillery presents Clynelish 12 Year Old Special Release 2022 58.5%, released in 2022. There were an unknown number of bottles in this release.
This whisky has a unique nose of creamy top notes soon give way to a light yet complex, fruit and herbal aromas; subtle, understated suggestions of fruity mincemeat, tinned pearsm even heather honey. deeper still spicy scents of oak preview of soaring intensity on the palate. a drop of water increases the herbal notes, while introducing a familar waxy hint, complimented by a very smooth, mouth-filling texture introduces a lively taste that is rich and wine-sweet overall. the is palate well balanced by snarling peppery, oaky spice. a little water enhances the sweetness, steers the smoothness of texture towards waxyness and rounds the flavours, which soon giveway again to spicy heat on the palate, and topped off by a quite long, chilli spiced and appetisingly drying, with lingering pepper. a little water enhances the creamy-smooth texture and adds a little more spice finish.

Clynelish
Situated in Brora, on the east coast of the North Highlands of Scotland. Sitting directly adjacent to the original Clynelish distillery (subsequently becoming Brora distillery). The distillery we know today as Clynelish, was newly built and began production in 1969 following a boom in production needs. Brora distillery (originally known as Clynelish) was built in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford to provide a market for barley grown by her tenants and local jobs. The two distilleries ran as Clynelish A and Clynelish B until 1969 and Clynelish A became known as Brora distillery until production was halted in 1983. Since 1969 Clynelish as we know it today has been as such with Brora remaining a sister but separate operation. Brora distillery lay empty from the 80s until recent extensive renovation between 2017 and 2021 and recommencement of production, with the first new product expected in 2031. Clynelish uses water piped down from the Clynemilton Burn Clynelish also houses a visitor centre and offers tours and whisky tastings.
